Lance had a rough life. His dad died when he was young his mom turned to drinking but could still function and take care of the children during the day. But at night the was his older sisters job, until she died. The his mom turned to drugs. That left Lance to take care of them, he was the oldest now. Then his mother overdosed. Making Lance their legal guardian. After that he made some bad life choices he turned to buying/selling drugs. He was a seller in the black market. He tried to raise the money a little bit so his siblings can eat. Bad choice. They followed Lance home. Lance never had any weapons he wasn't the 'I'll kill you if you don't give me the money type'. These people that followed him did. He had 6 other siblings. 3 were dead 3 were left alive. Lance was near death, since he was the dealer. His 3 living siblings called the police as did his neighbors. They though it was an armed burglary that went wrong. No charges or jail time for Lance, only hospital and morgue bill. He then turned to prostitution. It got the bills paid. Lance never wanted to have his siblings taken away from him but it was the only safe thing to do. Child services took them all to foster homes including Lance. Lance got accepted to Garrison. He put on his happy go lucky face and personality. But he was a major strategist. It was almost freaky and now here he was in space. Great. Space. He was treated bad, he didn't care, this was his Karma, never getting to know how his 3 alive siblings were doing. Being sounded by people who didn't like him. He's depressed, it sucked. And yet here they were. Lance F it and decided to be himself, a quite fast thinking strategist, and most importantly cold, non emotional. Yes he still has some but its been ripped to shreds. The only time they did mind bonding was to build the Voltron. So no one knows how he's really like. This would be a huge change for the team.
"Lance your late to breakfast." Allura said with her usual tone she takes with him
"Ok." Lance sounded like he didn't care
"Lance?" Allura sounded confused that he didn't flirt or say 'I need my beauty sleep'
"What?" Lance was confused that Allura was confused
"You didn't give an excuse."
"There is none, I'm just late."
Everyone was confused Lance said nothing of an excuse of any kind. He just came late to breakfast. Allure started to speak,
"Anyway for training Coran, Shiro and I feel we need to go through what your true personality and show a few memories that really made you into what you are today."
She sounded all cheery now.
"Isn't that kinda personal?" Pidge asked while shoveling goo into her mouth.
"Well you get to choose the memories if they are personal then you don't have to show it," Alluras voice had fluctuations going from lower to higher as she got happier. Man Alteans are weird, " clean up you can be in normal clothes then meet in the training room."
Everyone mumbles their ok's and yes's. Once they all parted ways Lance felt waves of anxiety wave over him. 'Shit shit shit shit!' Thats all that Lance could think, they would know about his real personality they will know about things he wanted to wait on telling them about.
*beep*"Paladins please make your way to the training room."*beep*
Lance groaned and got up off of his bed and started walking.
——————————————————
"Good! Everyone is here on time who wants to go first!" Allura seemed really really excited which is a bit different from her normal self.
"I'll go." Pidge had the sure i don't care just let me see cool technology.
Everyone and their memories pretty much matched them to their personalities. Its really creepy. Lance stayed quite trying to decide what he should do show memories or don't. Show actual personality or don't.
He chose to show his try personality and ALL  the memories that come with it. Good or bad.
"Lance you ready?"
"Yup, put me under princesa."
"What?"
"Uh...it's nothing, just put me under."
